Reasons to Oppose War on Iraq:
1. War should only be very last resort.
2.Iraq has never attacked our country.
3.Did we get Usama yet?
4.Would we want to be pre-emtively attcaked by some other country?
5.Why is Iraq different from other nations of massdestruction...example: North Korea?
6.Are we willing to stay in Iraq as long as we stayed in Vietnam?
7. Do we realize how many US GI's will die in the most cruel ways and how long they will be in the region?Are we ready to see our sons,brothers,friends,husbands,wifes and doughters come home with arms and legs missing perhaps slowly dieing?
8.This is a very convenient way to ignore : the economy,corporate scandals and their trials, lack of health insurance for 40 million americans...etc....etc....
9.Unilateralism undermines the power of international cooperation through the UN and will alienate us from our global neighbors.
10,If we attack Iraq, Iraq attacks Isreal,Isreal retaliates and attacks Palestinians and Iraq, the Arab world may get stuck in a regional war to say the least.
11.The crisis in Isreal and occupied territories does not need to be escalted any further.
12. Saddam will have an excuse to use weapons of mass destruction.
13.The innocent civillians of Iraq have suffered and died enough-even more will die.
14. Americans soldiers will come back in body bags as we have seen in Vietnam! This before the vets from Desert Storm are even recognized of having serios Gulf War related deseases and are actuall dieing in the thousands because of it see:
http://www.ngwrc.org/ for further facts!!
15. We have an administration that does not care about the casualties of the first Gulf War scenario. Still in denial of what actually happened in the region and why so many GI's have died and are ill since then.
16. Attacking Iraq may forment more attacks, certainly not less on the US and others an create more insecurity for all.
DO THE RIGHT THING! DON'T LET OUR SOLDIERS DIE INVANE!
